Impact of global systems at a local level

For your term research paper, you will need to select a well-defined question, conduct library research, and present an analysis of your research. While the topic is relatively open, it must a) address the impact of global systems at a local level, and b) be anthropological in nature. The most straightforward way to approach this would be to consider a region or population of interest and one specific global issue that is impacting that region or population. For example, some topics to consider might be:

How atoll dwellers in the Pacific are dealing with rising sea levels.
Pollution in a specific area of the Chinese countryside.
How large manufacturing plants have affected Mexican workers.
Kurdish resistance in Turkey.
The relationships between San hunter-gatherers in the Kalahari and the state.
